RECORD STORE DAY AT THIRD MAN RECORDS: JACK WHITE & THIRD MAN RECORDS PRESENT…
T H E W O R L D ’ S F A S T E S T R E L E A S E D R E C O R D
LIMITED EDITION “LAZARETTO” SINGLE TO BE RECORDED LIVE, PRESSED & RELEASED APRIL 19 FOR RECORD STORE DAY
On April 19th, Record Store Day, Third Man Records will present Jack White recording the World’s Fastest Released Record, studio-to-store, in the history of mankind.
You heard correctly. First thing in the morning, Jack White will take the stage in Third Man's blue room and record direct-to-acetate what will serve as the limited edition version of his next single, a live rendition of the title track from his upcoming LP Lazaretto. The masters will be rushed over to United Record Pressing who will immediately begin pressing 45s. The sleeves will be printed from pictures taken at the show. The finished records will be whisked back to Third Man to sell to awaiting fans. All in the same day. All in a matter of mere hours. As long as there are fans in line waiting to buy the single, United will continue to press and deliver them to Third Man to sell. Even if it takes all day.
In addition, Whirlwind Heat will appear at Third Man to play their first live show since 2006 (and likely their last ever), as their TMR classic Do Rabbits Wonder? LP is reissued on a variety of colored vinyl for Record Store Day.
Plus a great selection of local vendors will be on hand to keep everyone well-fed and refreshed… and there will, as always, be some surprises.
Tickets for this whole day —“Ultra Tickets” — are extremely limited and will be available exclusively through The Third Man Records Vault to Platinum Members. Ultra Ticket holders will get to watch Jack White live recording his World’s Fastest Record, Whirlwind Heat’s afternoon performance, and will receive copies of both The World’s Fastest Record 7” and the Whirlwind Heat Record Store Day LP release — all without having to wait in line! Vault Platinum members who are ticket holders need only show up, see Jack White play, hang out for a bit and eat, watch Whirlwind Heat (last show EVER??) and then, as they leave, pick up their bag with both RSD releases. No lines. No stress.
For those who can’t score tickets, The World’s Fastest Record will be made available for sale from the front of Third Man Records as soon as copies are pressed. Anybody who shows up that day during business hours wanting to purchase a copy will get one. Third Man promises to deliver until all customers are satisfied (one per customer, obviously!). The World’s Fastest Record will only be available at Third Man Records on Record Store Day. One time only!
Ultra Tickets for Record Store Day will be available via The Vault Pre-Sale ticket store at 3pm CT today, Thursday, April 3rd. JUST A GOLD SUBSCRIBER? SIGN UP FOR A PLATINUM MEMBERSHIP HERE.

Happy Rst to all! hope all you lucky ultra ticket holders are having a great time! peace
Congrats!!! You made it!
Thinking of you! awesome! I would like to be here!
Are you able to buy it online? That would be nice
Also, who wants to bet the people with Ultra Tickets will get a limited color version of The World’s Fastest Record?
If they plan on pressing The World’s Fastest Record all day. It would be really cool if they allowed Vault members a chance to order one copy during the store hours only on Record Store Day. Then everyone’s happy!
Dollruthlessmel: I will definitely enjoy the trip, and 10am. will be the time of my life. It’s too bad I can’t stay more, but I’ll enjoy all that day like a child.
Coming from a “businesswoman” perspective…;)
hahaha I hope no one is trying to define their fanship here! I love you all, I’m sure TMR appreciates all of you and support. If you do support and like the music, who is to question that? For those who have tickets, have a great time at the show. haha Congrats to you Rick Kanas I’m happy for you. Lindsay Williams, I’m sure there will be more events around the corner. Cinci, please don’t be a stranger girl, come back soon. ROJA, if you love flying like I love flying, you’ll enjoy yourself just that much more. Congrats! And Kali Durga, I don’t there is anyone with more heart than what it appears you have. Hope you have a great time at the show. All others, have a good time. :D
Tickets were delivered Friday and they look so cool. If any of you are in the Third Man group on Facebook I posted a picture of them.
Can not wait for next Saturday! It’s my first time seeing Jack White live, I’m getting a TMR RSD exclusive and I get to shop the Third Man store. So excited!!!!!
